The Fall Rally is Here!
The Polk Dems Virtual Fall Rally will take place this Sunday, September 27 at 4:00pm, and it's gonna be a blast!

We'll be showing video messages from at least 9 candidates, including Governor Roy Cooper, Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, and Agriculture Commissioner candidate Jenna Wadsworth, as well as our local and regional Democratic candidates.

We also have brief messages from about 20 of our local Dems and their pets, as well as a Pledge of Allegiance featuring Dems from all over the county—plus maybe a surprise or two along the way.

How To Participate in the Virtual Fall Rally:

This will be a big, fun Zoom meeting. It's easy to join. At 4:00pm on Sunday, go to this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8137268049. As the host, I will admit participants one at a time, so be a little patient. You will NOT need a password to attend the meeting.

Feel free to share the meeting info with your friends—as long as they're Democrats. The more the merrier!

If you've never participated in a Zoom meeting, you might want to watch this video to learn how.

Stop by HQ to Get Stuff and Share the Love
The party headquarters building is now open and staffed with volunteers between 10:00am and 2:00pm Tuesdays through Saturdays until Election Day. We have plenty of signs, stickers and swag available. Since some of these items cost us money, we appreciate a small (but voluntary) donation.

Stop by and share the positive energy we all feel as the election draws near. The address is 64 Ward Street in Columbus.

Many thanks to the wonderful volunteers, and many, MANY thanks to First Vice-Chair Pat Salomon for organizing them!

THANKS FOR GIVING!

So many of our folks have been pitching in lately, I feel like I'm constantly writing thank-you notes. Your contributions are going to good use, so please keep them coming. Thank you!!!
Poll workers needed
The Board of Elections needs people to work the polls this year. Traditionally, most poll workers have been in the high-risk group for COVID-19, so a lot of them will rightly sit out this year. The elections system needs replacements. Many of these jobs are paid — not a lot, mind you. If you're interested, go to ncsbe.gov/get-involved.
Have you filled out the 2020 census?
The window for completing the 2020 census will be closing far too rapidly. If you have not yet been counted, make sure you do. You can start by visiting My2020Census.gov. Or if you'd prefer a more local connection, our own Preston White is a census taker for this area. You can email him by clicking here, or call him at 828-817-0305.
